@ehBeth,
I'll surprise everyone now by saying I loved the first album from Gaga.
Poker face, Alejandro etc.
Full blast in the car is perfect for driving, and I place her (at that time when she first broke) as a modern day Cindi Lauper. Quirky, great voice and immensely talented.
Of course, nearly everyone thinks I must be secretly gay, loving Gaga.
Even my husband is suspicious.
